jr,

I converted my rear discharge deck to a side discharge and closed off the
chute. I use it like this all year as a mulching mower. It works great.

Hi Trakkers,

It's the time of year where thoughts turn from mowing to leaf pickup.
Aside from the clever vacuum assembly I've seen photos of, what are
other methods of using an elec trak to clear leaves?  Right now I rake
onto a tarp, no tractor involved.

I've seen the tow-style leaf sweepers, but they strike me as pretty
cheaply assembled and largely ineffective - does anyone have positive
experiences with these?

In an unrelated note, do any sickle bar attachments still exist?
